Bachmann, who will be back in Iowa on Monday to speak at forums sponsored by the Family Leader, has said she’ll decide whether to run by early summer. Mike Huckabee, the 2008 winner of the Iowa caucuses, has indicated it may well be late summer or early fall before he decides whether to run.

Enos’ decision to go with Bachmann’s PAC may also be seen as a sign that Huckabee won’t run. Maybe not, though — it may just be a sign that he won’t run in the Iowa caucuses. Either way, it’s clear that experienced and sought-after operatives like Enos and Eric Woolson (Huckabee ’08 Iowa manager now with Tim Pawlenty) aren’t willing to wait around until Huckabee decides.
